[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]So this is what I don’t understand. They travel thousands of miles to come here to escape a toxic culture in their home country only to continue to live by this toxic culture here in the US[/b]? I’m sorry for their struggle but heck, they sky has just opened up for them with opportunities galore! Why continue to live defeated lives when they have attained freedom? Let’s empower them and challenge them to live better lives. I have been where they have been and it angers me to see them waste opportunities. They might as well have stayed put in their home country. Sorry to anyone I offend but it offends me when immigrants waste their freedom because there are so many others who couldn’t make it here that would’ve loved these opportunities.[/quote] This statement is so laughable. We are talking about PTA participation for crying out loud. What makes you think that their disinterest in it is a sign of being defeated. Trust me, for them, coming to this country, being able to live here is priceless. The fact that their kids are[b] getting a US education so that they can have better lives[/b] than them is the ultimate dream. They don't see it as toxic at all. They could care less about PTA meetings. [/quote] Neither of you guys understand immigrants. We come here, mostly because of we can earn more money here. That's it. Culture? Sky opening up? Priceless? US education? What are you talking about? You really think everything is heaven here compared to other countries? [/quote] So you are affirming the assertion that immigrants are just here to take, take, take from Americans, without any loyalty or buy-in to American ideals. But we should welcome you with open arms, so that we can spend $200,000 to educate each of your children.[/quote]
